Notre Dame Boots Pro-marriage Advocates, Twice

Although a few homosexualists ripped up fliers, virtually everyone was welcoming to the message from the Tradition Family Property Student Action volunteers handing out literature at Notre Dame, except for the campus police who ordered the group to leave.

"It seems like the more you hear about inclusion and diversity in higher education, the less you hear about the truth, the more the truth is shut out of the conversation."-- John Ritchie, spokesman for TFP Student Action

The pro-marriage group was taken out the first time for failing to obtain a proper official permission. Notre Dame's Student Activities Office apologized for the mix-up and asked them to install their table again the following day. Despite obtaining approval through an officially recognized on-campus student group, police officials handed a "cease and desist" order to the conservative group.

"Notre Dame police officers told us that we only had proper permission to have a table - but that nobody was allowed to actually man the table, which was the whole point of having a table in the first place. How can a table man itself? So we were forced to leave," John Ritchie, spokesman for TFP Student Action, said in a statement.

Ritchie said that police officers arrived soon after volunteers started distributing pro-family literature, 10 Reasons Why Same-Sex "Marriage" is Harmful and Must Be Opposed.
